to me the dependence on a platform that could close projects because they do not adhere to its policies. Policies that change according to the convenience of states and companies at the cost of individual freedom.

@Stan` It is time to split the topic.

that's what artistic licenses are for. that's how I was imagining it in fact.

@Radiotraining for me the easiest is to create it in illustrator (vectors first) SVG maybe.

This is how they are made, you can see the materials. as you can see, a realistic adaptation is being made, in a conceptual way. "these colors, with these materials plus these aesthetic details."

with this one it would only be necessary to see the materials of the shields. great.

great.

materials? Are there no modern blacksmiths who have created real versions with these references? iconography is the primary source, but we also need to visualize them. We often see pictures of reenactors.

I imagine that this is the type of shield I am referring to, maybe it will be up to the historian to show us all the references. @Andronikos Medina

I agree he should show us the shields of the period.

only this size we have, ideally the original should have a huge resolution. "HD" in the example I show you the one I made for Delenda est with supervision of Wow and Geneava(Historian)

mine also need to be improved.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone we need your modder and critic judgement.

The ideal in this case is to reimagine it as a Hoplite shield, it seems. Do you guys have any idea what it would look like if it were real?

both can be done, I always promised to perfect the Byzantine.

I opened a new topic to make a revision.

carolingians.pdf I'm seeing that you're going to redesign a lot of things so let's start with the emblems. The only complaint I have is that the Byzantine was already quite historical. @Radiotraining

the Byzantine one needs to be discussed a bit and the Frankish one I have the original file.

@feneur we need split this topic. ironically became offtopic for this section.

our official mods are under the same rules of the game, this does not include Delenda Est.

I have designed the emblems of many new factions. In 0 A.D. they are always round. or they are a drawing on a shield, or they are a coin, or they are some relief style ornament.

something needs to be redesigned, for example that Rus faction symbol, where did you get it from?

we forgot you were new. The first thing is that at least our faction symbols and music and textures are under that standard, we don't want to have legal problems. @Stan`
